Numbering images based on their position in a document

Hello,
Is it possible to give images an automatic number based on their position in a document.
For example: I have 3 images A, B and C. I place them in order A = 1, B = 2 and C = 3.
Then I change my mind and I move image B to the front.
I want the numbers to change so that B=1, A=2 and C=3, but this doesn't happen.
I have the same problem if I insert an image D between A and B. I want the numbers to change to A=1, D=2,B=3 and C=4, but the number of the new image just becomes 4.
I can't find a solution for this problem. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
BB

A paragraph style with the Numbering option turned on and this applied to the Figure text would be as close as you can get to a solution. It is not quite as thorough as FrameMaker in this regard, but it isn't bad for general document construction. Once you get into the hundreds and thousands of pages of illustrated figures, this becomes a lot of time and human management.

Overlap 2 Images and Make Their Positions Relative?

I need to essentially make a hotspot on an image that is another image.
I know how to make hotspots. I know how to overlap images. But I need the overlapping image's position to be relative to the image beneath it.
How can I do this?
I have tried searching for Overlapping Images (answer: CSS)
I have also tried searching for Mapping Images to Images (no luck, just brings up info on mapping images, period)
I'm not sure what to search for to get this answer. That is why I am posting.
I am using Dreamweaver CS3. I am a total n00b but if you point me in the right direction I can figure out the rest with research.
Thank you in advance for your time.
PS- Please don't say, "Why not just merge the 2 images with an Imaging Program?" I need to do this with hundreds of images, AND I need the images available separately on my site. This would create hundreds of additional images that I need to upload.

Ignore this. I lost over half my post somehow. I'll try again. -.-

Collecting "similar" images based on appearance??

Can anyone recommend a Mac application that can aid in identifying "similar" images (from a specified group of many images) based on visual appearance??
In the past, I've used Microsoft's Expression Media Pro (formerly iView Media Pro) to assist me in gathering 'like' images which are similar in visual appearance to one another. This proved to be a tremendous aid over the years in situations where I found myself trying to collect images that were 'virtual' duplicates of one another, but could not be collected by so-called 'duplicate finder' apps because they didn't share the same metadata, resource fork, date created/modified, size, name, etc...
_An example of how this might happen:_
- "Open" an image into Photoshop
- "Edit Menu > Duplicate...",
- "Save As" with a different name...
+(in this example, some of the original metadata would be retained, but other identifiable info would be lost).+
_Another example would be if you_
- "Open" an image into Photoshop
- "Select All"
- "Copy"
- "New Document" +(which inherently uses the copied dimensions and resolution on the clipboard from the previous step)+
- "Paste"
- "Flatten"
- "Save As"
Here is a screenshot of Expression Media Pro's "Show Similar" dialog box:
Without going off on too much of a tangent, I've lost complete faith in iView Media Pro (which used to be my Digital Asset Management app of choice) ever since Microsoft bought it and turned it into Expression Media Pro...it's been way too buggy and has become all but unusable for me and my day-to-day needs...
It would be a tremendous help if someone could help me out here by recommending a Mac app to find and gather images based on their appearance...
Thanks!

I assume that these images are not inside an iPhoto library? Because all those ‘Save As...’ commands would confuse things a lot in iPhoto.
I’ve not tried this myself but it might help:

Re-save a PDF so contents are image-based?

Is there quick and easy way to do this? I know it will inflate the file size, but that's not important for my applications. Basically, I want all the contents of an existing text-based PDF to be image-based, as if I was a document I optically scanned, but without the need to print it out, and run it through a scanner. Is this possible? Thanks

Ah nice idea. Now, is it possible to perform this in a batch fashion?
Ideally, I want my user to be able to drop a bunch of PDF's in a directory, run a batch file, and then they will be "converted" as described above.
Are there command line arguements for Acrobat that could do this? Using X Standard here.

How do I assign images to grid cells based on their random number value?

Hello everyone!
     I need a good point (or shove) in the correct direction.
Background
     I've created (with previous help from this forum) a 12 x 9 random number grid which cycles through the numbers 1 to 9 a total of twelve times each. I've then created a button which shuffles the current grid's cells each time it is clicked. I now want to use 9 images that I have imported as individual symbols into the library (I have given them each their own class titled "skin1," "skin2," ... "skin9") as cell labels or the equivalent. I have also set the images up as individual movie clips (using the .Sprite class as the extended base class but keeping the actual image class names in line with their object name, i.e. the "skin1" image is the "skin1.as" class).
Question
     How do I assign these images to the grid cells based on their respective values (ranging from 1 to 9) and have them populate the grid each time I click the "shuffle" button? So for example, in my grid the numbers 1 through 9 randomly appear 12 times each. Every time the number 4 appears in a cell, I want it to be assigned to the image "skin4" (which is just a graphic that looks like a button and has a fancy number "4" printed on it). Below is a chunk of the code I am using to draw the grid cells with:
// Creates a grid cell when called by generateGrid().
private funciton drawCell(_numeral:int):Sprite
          This is the code I am currently implementing to populate the grids with (although I
          don't want to use text labels as I want to fill each grid with an image according
          to its numerical value (1 to 9).
     var _label:TextField = new TextField();
     _label.multiline = _label.wordWrap = false;
     _label.autoSize = "center";
     _label.text = String(_numeral);
     // Add numerical label to cell array.
     cellLabels.push(_label);
     var _s:Sprite = new Sprite();
     _s.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x019000);
     _s.graphics.drawRect(30, 0, cellW, CellH);
     _s.addChild(_label);
     return _s;
     While the following isn't working code, it will hopefully demonstrate what I want to achieve inside this function so I don't have to use the above snippet for text labels:
     //This will "hopefully" create an array of all 9 images by calling their classes.      var _imageArray:Array = [skin1, skin2, skin3, skin4, skin5 , skin6, skin7, skin8, skin9];      // This is what I want to happen for each cell using the above image array:      for (i = 0; i < cells; i++)      {           if (_numeral == 1)           {                // Insert skin1 image for each instance of #1 in the grid.           }           if (_numeral == 2)           {                // Insert skin2 image for each instance of #2 in the grid.           }           ...           if (_numeral == 9)           {                // Insert skin9 image for each instance of #9 in the grid.           }      }
     Again, I don't want to use text labels. I have a custom skin graphic that I want to go over each number on the grid based on its numerical value (1 to 9). Any help with this is much appreciated!

kglad,
     Thank you for your help with this one. Using the code below, I have successfully populated my grid cells with the desired corresponding graphics. I noticed one thing though regarding my use of the shuffle button with this particular implementation: even though the numerical values residing in each cell get shuffled, the original images remain in the grid rather than being replaced by new ones. The first code snippet below is the revised cell drawing function including your help; the second snippet shows you my simple shuffle button function (where the problem lies, I think).
Snippet #1:
     // Creates a grid cell when called by generateGrid().
     private function drawCell(_numeral:int):Sprite
          var _label:TextField = new TextField();
          _label.multiline = _label.wordWrap = false;
          _label.autoSize = "center";
          // Creates a label that represents the numerical value of the cell.
          cellLabels.push(_label);
          var _s:Sprite = new Sprite();
          _s.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x019000);
          _s.graphics.drawRect(30, 0, cellW, cellH);
          // Physically adds the labels to the grid.
          _s.addChild(_label);
          // Assigns a graphic class to a cell based on its numerical value.
          var _classRef:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("skin" + _numeral));
          // Undefined variable for holding graphic classes.
          var _image:* = new _classRef();
          // Lines the images up with the grid cells.
          _image.x = 30;
          // Physically adds a graphic on top of a cell label.
          _s.addChild(_image);
          return _s;
     So far so good (although I question needing text labels at all if they are just going to remain invisible underneath the images, but enough about that for now). This next part is the reason that the images won't shuffle with the cell values, I think.
Snippet #2:
     // When shuffleButton is clicked, this event shuffles
     // the number array and fills the cellLabels with the new values.
     private function onButtonShuffleClick(e:MouseEvent):void
          // Shuffles the number array.
          shuffle(numbers);
          // Verifies the array has been shuffled.
          trace("After shuffle:", numbers);
          // Loop replaces old cellLabels with new number array values.
          for (var i:int = 0; i < cells; i++)
               cellLabels[i].text = String(numbers[i]);
     As you can see, it never replaces the original images that populate the grid. I tried using the _s.removeChild(image) function but that didn't work, nor would copying/pasting some of the code from snippet #1 directly into this function as it would cause another instance of the images to be placed over top of the existing ones rather than actually swapping them out. Any continued help here is greatly appreciated!
     PS Is there a quicker method for posting code into these forums without having to type it all out by hand again (i.e. copy/paste or drag/drop from my .fla or Notepad file directly into this thread)?

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Why is elements better at photomerge than CC- CC does not appear to automatically fill image based on content but elements does when merging a panorama. Also the stitching is visable in CC but almost perfect in elements- why?

I took 6 panorama shots of a scene and used CC to Photomerge them as one. Couldn't see where to automatic blend the edges and there was 'stitch' lines when the images were merged. So i did the same in Elements 11 and it was perfect. Am i doing something wrong in CC or perhaps not doing something at all?
Any help, please?
Dave

Hi - Thanks for taking the time to reply and i appreciate the remarks- if a little harsh- we all have to start somewhere and i am fully aware of the limitations of Elements which is why i decided to add CC to my software. I can only say that if an inferior quality software from Adobe does the job well then CC must also be suited to doing the same which is why i can only think, from your comments, that i have not done something simple- however- following tutorials to get to the end result should have sufficed- it didn't so perhaps i will consider posting the difference between the two applications- and, perhaps suffer a few more 'harsh' comments. The learning curve is quite steep and i am a visual learner, but i'm also not totally incompetent:)
Kind Regards

First a clarification: you are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums. You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
I'll give it my best shot anyway.
Few folks in this forum are really familiar with Elements, for which there's a dedicated, totally separate forum.
Different engineering teams, also.
From this perspective, it will be difficult to give you a direct answer to your "why?" question.
Personally, I blend very large panorama shots in Photoshop proper since I can't even remember when without any issues whatsoever, up to and including in Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.
Without being at your computer and without looking at your images, I couldn't even begin to speculate what you are doing wrong in Photoshop, which I suspect you are. The least you could show is post examples from your panoramas that have gone wrong.
I can tell you that panorama stitching requires significant overlap between the individual shots, besides common-sdense techniques like a very solid tripod and precision heads.
The only version of Elements I have ever used for any significant time was Elements 6 for Windows, which I bought in 2008 to use on a PC (I've been an avid Mac user for 30 years). I found Elements so limited and so bad that I successfully demanded a refund from Adobe. IU mention this only to emphasize that I can truly only address your question from a Photoshop (proper) and Mac user point of view. I couldn't care less about Elements, but if you have comparison examples of panoramas processed in both applications, by all means post those two.
Generally speaking Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve, while Photoshop has many hand-holding features for amateurs and beginners.
Perhaps the bottom line is that you should stick with Elements if you personally manage to get better results there.

How can I show or hide an image based on screen size in CS6?

I have a web site built using Dreamweaver CS6. I used the fluid grid layout to have different views for each of the 3 types - phone, tablet, desktop. It works well, resizes as it should. I would like to be able to show an image in the desktop version but not the mobile version. How could I do that? I can see in the .css file that different size screens can have their own different settings. Is there code I could add that would hide/show and image based on the users viewport on the same page? Let's say I have a div tag named picture. How could I add a parameter to the picture div tag in the style sheet that would hide the image if it was mobile?
thanks,
Marilyn

Insert image into a container div.
Desktop CSS:
#divName {

width: xxxpx

How to deliver modules based on Job Position?

I have a couple of courses in my organization that are currently required to be completed by everyone. However, the range of material goes from a basic overview of system and processes to detailed information about each and what level of information is really needed is based on your level within the organization. I would like to be able to have the learner identify their position and then deliver only the modules that are applicable to them. Does anyone know a relatively easy way to do this? Something like the "pre-test" in multi-SCORM packaging?
Thanks.

You could do this several different ways.
The best way is to control which modules the learner receives by having the LMS control which content they can access based on which user group they are assigned to. This way the learner has no control over the content and cannot see something they should not just by selecting a role other than their own.
If you are trying to control which slides a learner sees within a singe Captivate project file then you need to be using custom user variables and conditional actions triggered by the ON Slide Enter event of slides that will either be viewed or skipped according to the learner's chosen role.
When it comes to the quiz, these same user variables can be used to control which quiz questions the learner sees and then have Branch Aware switched on so that their score is based only on the questions they visit. But you have to achieve the branching without having the learner reach a given question slide otherwise it will be counted as part of their quiz because they went to that slide.

Find records based on their insertion order

Hi to all,
Is there any way I can find records based on their insertion order.
Like i inserted 5 records, can I find fifth record based on that insertion order?
Advance thanks for your inputs

Not without adding some kind of sequencing mechanism to your inserts.
You could use sequence numbers, or for more robustness, insert timestamps alongside your inserts.
Triggers will help you to acheive this.

Changing enabled background images based on jpeg EXIF data.

Opening image files in their own windows in PS4

Before PS4, I could open image files in their own windows. In PS4, when I want to open more than one file, these open with tabs and any new file I open is added to the tab queue. It is annoying to right click on each tab so each file is in its own window. Is there a universal preference to change this annoying behavior?

Site that automatically resizes images based on browser size

Hi. I need to make a site that automatically adjusts the size of the images based on the browser size, but keeps the image quality. Does anyone know how to do this without using flash?
I basically want the site to perform like [http://www.shotview.com/|http://www.shotview.com/] . Thanks for your help.

first time accessing website get screen size info using javascript and then redirect to next page and store screen size info into session. then, when requesting pictures from browser use custom servlet, mapped to image extension, that renders images to different resolution.
